Wedding makeup at Jaisalmer Marriott
The Marriott is Jaisalmer's large-wedding option: yellow sandstone buildings, water features, a ballroom and lawns, with some rooms facing the fort. It is close to town, which makes logistics simpler for big families.
Please note
From Pune to Jaisalmer for a large wedding.
Tejaswini is a Pune-based bridal artist. For a large wedding at the Marriott she brings extra artists for family looks and stays at the resort. Her travel is quoted separately from the looks, so you can see exactly what each part costs.

Why it works
Close to town, room for everyone.
Jaisalmer Marriott Resort & Spa is built in the same yellow stone as the city, around courtyards and pools. Some rooms look directly at Jaisalmer Fort, which glows gold at sunset.
With a ballroom, a Durbar Hall and several lawns, it can host large weddings that would not fit at a camp or boutique hotel. Being close to town also makes it easy for guests to visit the fort and havelis between functions.
Stone and water mean bright, reflected light by day; the desert means cold, dry evenings. Both shape how a bride's base is chosen.
